I actually made something…

January 25, 2011 34 Comments by Kirsty

I’ve eased myself in slowly.

The style was was limited by my fabric choice (just one flour sack).

The bag is lined for strength. I had a bit of fun with the raw edges and the stray threads & an Op Shopped suede belt was hacked into & fashioned into a bag strap.

Slouchy & casual & fun.

Love it Kirsty! The contrast stitching is great, and the way you've done the strap is terrific too. Good to see you back at it!

Pure genius at how youve sliced the leather to thread the sack through. It probably took you no time at all to come up with though? Being the guru that you are!
